Day 2

First and foremost, thanks to all for the comments, on the posts, we are trying to get the word out about our blog, and hope that you can help us out. As of now my (HE) people haven't come through, but I have faith that they will. Also, we've gotten word that it's hard to tell who is posting what blog, so Wilson and I will now be "signing" our blogs. Let's get into it...

• The Boston Celtics. The defending champs. One and done. Yes, unless something drastic happens, like a Willis Reed type comeback from KG, consider the Celtics toast. Rondo goes for a triple double, along with 5 steals, and my BOY Ray Allen scores 28 in the second half, while also holding Rose to average (leave Gordon out of the conversation at this point), and it STILL takes a 3 by Allen with 2 seconds left to win?! Lucky for the Celtics, the Baby Bulls, for the second game in a row, didn't have a timeout to advance the ball to half court and try to get a better shot for one of their playmakers. The series shifts back to Chicago now and the Celtics and their fans should be very scared. Props to ben Gordon last night, putting on a show for the road crowd, thus regaining his grip on this series. Also, this morning it was reported that Leon Powe is now out for the postseason after tearing his ACL, which leaves the Celtics with 3 big men. One of which is Glen "Big Baby/Ticket Stub" Davis, who couldn't hit the ocean with a asteroid if he wanted to. I consider myself a slight fan of the Celtics, because I do love Ray Allen and really think Rondo will be a dominant PG of the future, but things are bleak at this point for the Clovers. Look for Chicago to close this one in 6.
• Once again being a Mavs fan is like riding the Texas Titan at Six Flags. One game you're on top of the world thinking they have got it going, then the next they get torched by the Spurs and give up 38 to Tony Parker in 33 minutes. As I said yesterday, the key to this series is stopping Parker. Giving up 19 in the first quarter was obvious foreshadowing as to how the game would go. It's simple for the Mavs, get Dirk going, add in some help from whoever it may be (Kidd, Howard, Barea, Bass), and slow down Tony Parker. Duncan wasn't even effective last night (13 pts and 11 reb) and yet they completely blow us out. Props to Damp, excuse my FRENCH (no pun intended), but knock Mr. Longoria on his ass.
• Shout out to Dwight Howard, Defensive Player of the Year, much deserved. Led the league in rebounds, blocked shots, dunks, and having opposing players just laugh in awe of his blocking prowess. I saw this young man play in high school, with Josh Smith and against Jordan Farmar (great game, Farmar won and thus solidified "the best player I've seen" status in my book, another story for another day) and he was something special back then, and has continually gotten better and better. And bigger, his shoulders are like volleyballs.
• Tyreke Evans and Scottie Reynolds both declared for the NBA Draft today, but both will not hire agents. Smart move for both. Stay at least another year.
• The Lions reportedly will sign their pick before the draft, I hope that they give more input into that than their new logo change. What a complete joke, that officially solidifies them as just plain pathetic.

That's all I got for today. Shout out to my cousin BJ, I think I speak for everyone when I say we love you, appreciate what you're doing, and understand that it is serious, legit, and life threatening. Can't wait for you to get home. Until tomorrow, or maybe later, who knows, ADIOS.
